I add about every 1-3 days. I value each of my tasks in three areas. Difficulty (time/stress), Importance, timeliness (how slanted is the benefit & work distribution towards the now, shape not magnitude). Then I load balance difficulty and then importance at a minor level and place high timeliness items forward. I bet shape not magnitude is confusing. If reading something before a meeting is useful but not needed, the meeting is tomorrow afternoon, it doesn't do much good to read it in four days just because it's not that important. So every day has its tasks and I start the day with the important tasks for that day. If I don't get to reading that unimportant report but focused on something way more important, great. At least it was scheduled for the right day. By doing it her way you are asking yourself to preform poorly on both sides of the week. Not getting the extra stuff done on Monday that shows your ready for extra responsibility, and putting off the important stuff for Monday when your received it on Thursday. You look like a slacker at the end of the week and responsible yet not doing more then required in the beginning. I’m way to technical. I add about every 1-3 days.

Hmm, yes makes sense - good way to go with it. I read <a href="http://practicethis.com/2008/09/06/time-is-not-money-time-is-budget/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">your post</a> about it. The results are for instance: # I breath with full chest. No more fire alarms. # I know what I do and why I do it. which is in harmony with this post. I had a bit difficulties to see the difference between using your time-budget and just the allocation on a daily basis for projects. I guess it is more long term time allocation!?

I think most people work 9-5 in Offices or at least in their working environment, and so am I. I could do my body-workout in the morning or in the evening on weekdays. Social meetings could work for lunch. Of course if you are willing and able to create a more flexible work-time (i.e. "The 4 Hour Work Week" by Timothy Ferriss) it's even more flexible :) Wim, if you are that flexible it’s sweet to insert a social or body-”event”, yes.

I think it's really important to really take those "private life-areas" into account, and yes, why not schedule them in! Also agree on keeping enough free space in your schedule, tasks usually take longer and new stuff comes up all the time. The execution always remains the difficult part of course; but maybe it helps planning in more of those 'life area tasks' in between. Planning in something not work-related like swimming or running can greatly benefit your productivity, at least it works for me. Sometimes, you should regard "Swimming" as 'A1' ;). <abbr><em>Wim´s last blog post: <a href="http://stunf.com/blog/2008/10/prioritizing-and-planning-the-urgency-trap/" rel="nofollow">Prioritizing and Planning: The Urgency Trap.</a></abbr></em> Interesting post, thanks.
